Pop culture collectibles can take two opposite shapes in the same shopping session: a sealed mystery bag that hides its contents, or a giant lot that spills across multiple shelves. The tougher question is which one fits the way you actually collect. The four options here include a NECA blind bag, a giant Funko Pop lot, a directed Funko assortment, and a Dennis Pop from a digital Funko release.
Quick Take
The blind bag is for surprise seekers. The huge Funko lot is for collectors who want volume and are willing to accept a hefty commitment. The mid-priced Funko assortment is a middle-ground play that promises a little more control. The Dennis digital Pop is for someone who wants one mint, limited piece with a very specific character.

Product Notes
Pop Culture Blind Bag Toys and NECA Collectibles Mystery Surprise 14
The blind bag earns its place by making the unboxing itself the experience. It is a sealed NECA mystery surprise with pop culture themes and plush material, and the 14+ age level points to an older collector rather than a children's toy. The limitation is the absence of control: you cannot aim for a specific character, and the sealed packaging means you accept whatever is inside. At $8.75, the risk is low, but the payoff depends entirely on chance. If you already know exactly which pieces you need, this one will not help you close those gaps.
FUNKO POP LOT of 146 Rare And Exclusive Collectibles
The big lot is the direct answer for someone who wants volume in one purchase. The set includes 146 pieces, with rare and exclusive pieces in the mix, and most are new in box and kept in a smoke-free home. The caveat is condition: two boxes have visible issues, one with a worn glue seam on a Mal Reynolds box and one with a dent on a Dredd box, and the entire collection is sold as is. The $2,500 price is the largest commitment in this group, so it only makes sense if you truly want a wall full of characters. If you need a single shelf piece or a carefully selected set, this is too much in both cost and quantity.
Funko Pop Assortment Lot CHOOSE YOUR OWN Read Description
This option tries to split the difference between surprise and control. It is labeled as a choose-your-own Funko Pop assortment, while the price attached to it is presented as the cost for the entire lot, so the exact setup is worth understanding before you commit. The age level is listed as 3+, the most permissive of the two ages stated here, which makes this a more family-friendly route among the options that list an age. The practical limitation is that ambiguity: you may be selecting pieces, or you may be buying the full assortment at the asking price. Either way, you get a Funko lot with multicolor variety and a chance to direct what comes into your collection.
Funko Pop! Digital It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia Dennis At Tryouts #378 Mint
This is the precise purchase for a collector who cares about one character instead of a big mixed pile. It is a Dennis at Tryouts #378 Pop from a digital Funko release, with a mint box and shipping inside a pop protector with bubble wrap. It also carries the limited edition label, so there is a scarcity angle for collectors who track that. The limitation is exactly the opposite of the blind bag: there is no surprise, no volume, and no room to change the character. At $69.99, it is a focused buy that works if Dennis and Always Sunny are already meaningful to you. If you are after volume or variety, this single piece will not move the needle.
Which One Should You Pick?
- Low commitment and a taste of mystery: the NECA blind bag.
- Filling out a large Funko collection quickly: the large lot, if you are comfortable with the upfront price and the two box flaws.
- A middle ground with some choice: the directed Funko assortment, once you sort out the whole-lot detail.
- A single, character-specific collectible: the Dennis at Tryouts #378 digital Pop.
Your best buy depends on what you most want from pop culture collectibles: a reveal, a big shelf upgrade, a directed set, or one precise character piece.
